The ruling on looking at the Ka'bah in al-Masjid al-Haram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh Abu Ali, I hope Shaykh Salih will explain this phrase to me, which is the statement of the scholars: “It is recommended (mustahabb) to look at the place of one’s prostration,” and they made an exception for al-Masjid al-Haram, saying one should look at the Ka'bah. Is this correct?
Answer:
It is not correct. He does not look at the place of his prostration, whether he is in al-Masjid al-Haram or elsewhere, because this is more conducive to humility (khushu'). Yes.
